0-60
 
Hi All,

What kind of 0-60 times do you'll get? I would be especially interested in times from those who have modified their cars and what each mod bought ya.

Thanks!

I'd say a car like mine, Series II NA will be about 8sec.

An Series II SSEi will vary between 6.5 and low 7s.

I don't know about Series I engines.


EDIT: What kind of car do you drive? I believe the 96-99 SSEi is the quickest of the bunch.

That sounds right. I have a 98 SSEi Series II - it in the high 6's low 7's.

Trying to learn how to do mods to get it a little better.

Welcome to the club Neocon,
add you trim and various info to your sig, it will help in future posts.
Start by looking trough the tech info section, there you find some common upgrades for your car that will help with your 0-60 quest.

A nice start would be to get a 180 T-stat, 3.4" pulley with a good belt, and cold air intake of some sort, and some colder plugs. That will definitly drop your 0-60 time significantly.

94-95 Series I SC engines are supposed to make 0-60 in low 7's. 7.1 on the SC SE. So a lil more for the SSE+SSEi trim levels.

92-93 Series I SC are in the high 7's i believe.

Proper launch, and as little wheel spin will also help. Magazines don't brake torque either.

You'll find off the line, we're very good for such a huge car. Just a little less on the top end stock.

Thanks all.

Thanks Pontiac Dad! Nice to be here.

I have the basics on WHAT I should be doing first (Thermostate, intake, pully) just don't yet know how. I am not very mechanically inclide. Really I am the Villiage Idiot as I posted in another thread.

Same here, I don't know too much. But those basic mods are fairly easy to do. If you know a good mechanic that helps, but if not, I'm sure many here will help ya out.
